ASUS ROG Strix G16 (2025) Gaming Laptop, 16” ROG Nebula Display 16:10 2.5K 240Hz/3ms, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060 GPU, Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 Processor 275HX, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, Wi-Fi 7, Wind11 Home

Great for hardcore gamers
I bought the ROG Strix G16 with one major concern: future-proofing. I was tired of buying laptops that could handle games at launch, only to struggle with the next wave of AAA releases a year later. I can confidently say this machine has completely eliminated that worry. This laptop is an absolute beast that handles the latest, most graphically demanding games of 2024 and 2025 with stunning results.The star of the show is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060. Paired with the powerful Intel Core i7-13650HX, this laptop doesn’t just run new games—it crushes them. I’ve been throwing everything at it, from sprawling open-world RPGs to fast-paced competitive shooters, and I’m consistently able to play on high or even ultra settings at a stable, high framerate.The real magic for keeping up with current releases is DLSS 3 with Frame Generation. This isn’t just a gimmick; it’s a revolutionary feature that significantly boosts performance in supported titles, ensuring that even the most unoptimized or graphically punishing games are incredibly smooth. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I have this technology in my back pocket for the big releases coming down the pipeline.All that power would be wasted without a great screen, and the 165Hz display is the perfect match. The gameplay is buttery smooth, with no tearing or stuttering. The motion clarity is night-and-day compared to older 60Hz screens, and it gives you a tangible edge in competitive games.Finally, the supporting hardware is top-notch. The 1TB Gen4 SSD means load times are practically nonexistent, and with 16GB of DDR5 RAM, multitasking with Discord or a browser open while gaming is effortless. Even during long sessions, the cooling system does an impressive job of keeping temperatures in check without sounding like a jet engine.If you’re looking for a gaming laptop that won’t just play today’s games but is ready for tomorrow’s, the ASUS ROG Strix G16 is a fantastic choice. It offers incredible performance that keeps pace with the ever-increasing demands of modern game development. Highly recommended!

Excellent
Performance-wise, it’s a beast. Multitasking is seamless, and even the most demanding games run at peak settings without lag. The build quality feels robust, and the design balances sleekness with that signature ROG gaming aesthetic.Battery life is surprisingly decent for a gaming laptop, and the cooling system does a solid job of keeping temperatures in check during intense sessions. If you’re looking for a laptop that can handle gaming, creative work, and everyday tasks with equal prowess, this one’s a top contender.

Amazing machine
It’s a big and beautiful laptop that slurps up all games like jam while staying very quiet by laptop standards. Expect high framerates and few frame dips thanks to high CPU limits, but with a few caveats.Pros:1. It is insanely fast and quiet. Balanced mode fans are around 40 dB (about as quiet as a desktop) but you can make them run much louder in Turbo mode.2. Good display. The 165Hz screen is quite good and fast, slightly better gamut then my previous laptop. The 16:10 ratio is also really nice for games and productivity apps. Mine has a slight green tint but only when using the iGPU, switching to Nvidia removes it. Which means it’s probably a software issue (see “Cons” below)3. It runs cool. While playing endgame Dyson Sphere Program (basically a CPU stress test) the CPU doesn’t even reach 80 degrees and manages to squeeze out 60+ fps where my old Ryzen 7 4800H would crap out and struggle to cough up 35 fps.Cons:1. Asus software is horrible, it’s like it was coded by interns. This is the main reason I took one star off the review, out of the box MyAsus and Armoury Crate hog CPU and RAM and are constantly fighting against Windows’ settings and each other. They can cause constant freezes and weird bugouts like the screen colors going haywire. Even after replacing them with G Helper, there are still a few lingering issues I have to be wary of.2. Bad battery life. Out of the box it runs like 5 hours max, 4 hours if you disable the screen battery saver (60 Hz is nauseating). Definitely going to need to lug that huge power brick around.3. The middle fan is very high-pitched like the ones you’d find in thinner laptops. It can be distracting for some, personally I’m on the fence. It is still very quiet and even gets drowned out by external speakers or headphones.4. Gaudy design. The lightbar is obviously annoying and the keys are pretty much unreadable without backlight on, which I really hate. The 4-zone RGB keyboard is also poorly executed, it looks patchy and has very limited color range. Typing on it feels very good though, it has full-size keys, high travel and good feedback. I just wish it had a numpad or a dedicated Home, End, PgUp and PGDown keys, there’s a lot of wasted space on the deck.Overall I’m still very happy with my package, would recommend it to anyone who wants a well cooled laptop with insanely high performance with a tradeoff of portability and battery.And Asus, please fix your damn software.

Great item for gaming, delivery fast
